What happens if you try to make an object of an abstract class?

The compiler prevents it
The object is made with default values
The object is created successfully
Run-time error occurs

The correct answer is: The compiler prevents it

An abstract class cannot be instantiated, so attempting to create an object of an abstract class will result in a compilation error. This is because an abstract class is incomplete and contains abstract methods that must be implemented in a subclass. Option B and C are incorrect as there is no default behavior for making an object of an abstract class and it cannot be created successfully. Option D is incorrect as a run-time error only occurs when the code is running, but in this case, the error would be caught by the compiler.
